Roberto Firmino reaches 9 goals and assists in Liverpool's victorious season

With the goal that gave Liverpool the victory at Wolverhampton (1-2) last Thursday, Roberto Firmino reached 9 goals in all competitions this season. He has also provided as many assists in a season where the European champions dominate wherever they go.

A vital player in the campaign

At 28 years old, the Brazilian forward has participated in 32 official matches this season. He has played a fundamental role throughout the campaign. Jürgen Klopp has made fewer rotations than many expected, but he has already secured the Premier League title, in part thanks to goals like the one mentioned above.

Influence in decisive moments

His 2 goals in the Club World Cup were also decisive for the team's second title of the season, even though sometimes the coach has chosen some of his teammates as starters. Firmino may have less individual skill than Mohamed Salah and fewer goal-scoring opportunities than Sadio Mané, but his less noticeable qualities make him more unpredictable.

Key attributes

Arriving from a second line position, having great vision and the ability to lead lethal transitions is what enables Firmino and the Reds to win their matches.
